Cobblestone Streets & Stonework by Vampisol
« on: April 30, 2013, 06:50:21 PM »
In my latest blog post I present some cool products from a German railway modelling company called "Vampisol":
http://cianty-tabletop.blogspot.com/2013/04/cobblestone-streets-stonework-by.html

The cobblestone streets and stonework boards are very well suitable for 28mm wargaming.

Check it out if you if you like it. :)

Does anybody know of other websites were you could purchase the same embossed sheets but maybe in styrene or plastic? I find dental plaster to be very hard and heavy...

I too prefer resin or - well, basically almost anything - to plaster. However, aside from the Stronghold Terrain streets I don't know of anything suitable. Also, the plaster streets are only 2mm thick. That's why I mentioned the point about breaking in my post. This also means that the pieces are not heavy at all. A similar resin product would weigh about the same.

Still, if anyone has any suggestions for similar products I too would love to hear them!  :)

Those look very nice and I actually like working with plaster for stone, but I suspect shipping costs for a crate of dental plaster from Germany to Canada would be a bit onerous.

Cianty,
I think you know about Wills plasticard (http://www.gaugemaster.com/architectural.html). I have never tried them because I want to be sure before making the investment... Would you recommend your plaster sheets to create buildings?

Yes, I have seen the Wills cards before. But since I have never seen any proper reviews and creations that use them and they's not available in any physical store I've been to I never bought them. I'd definately love to know more about them.

The dental plaster boards are definately useable for buildings. In fact I plan to do just that and have already ordered a few more boards. But it will be quite some time before I will be able to post any results on my blog.

You'll probably have to directly contact Jens Kaup:
